Don't Cast The First Stone - Good Morning Mother Earth! - Isn't it funny how much we generally counteract rules labeled with Political Correctness? The more we try and stick to certain guidelines telling us what is taboo and what is still permissible, the more we fail and the deeper we fall once we get caught. Actually, this is neither funny nor surprising but flat out sad. We are not supposed to say what is on our minds using the words that come with it as this is considered unethical, mean, thoughtless, dumb, inappropriate, scandalous, and God knows what else. And yet, it's perfectly okay to allow people to swear like truckers on national TV because just a few bleeps later it all seems to be forgotten and forgiven again. This is ridiculous and does not make any sense whatsoever! This country was founded on a number of constitutional amendments, one of which is Freedom of Speech. Good to read on paper indeed but in my opinion not quite practiced the way it ought to be. Don't get me wrong, we certainly shouldn't be handed the reign to call each other out by throwing around with nasty and inconsiderate verbal insults. However, if someone publicly slips once and gets caught, there shouldn't be made a big fuss about it especially after that somebody apologizes on TV. I cannot believe that some folks standing behind certain TV- stations have the nerve to publicly condemn anyone just because they slipped once in their entire careers! A bunch of hypocrites are all those who dare cast the first stone! We are all human, and even though we are supposed to steer clear of unnecessary and uncalled offensive utterances, we still err because that's what we all do as nobody is perfect. For God's sake, get off you high horses and reflect upon all your own little weaknesses. And before you point at anyone, just make sure that you have cleaned your own backyards well! - Psychologically speaking, the more we try to restrict, contain, mould, and shape each other against our true nature, by the way, the more likely we will fall off the wagon. The harder we try to shut each other up, the easier it will be to blurt out what we are not expected to say at all. The more pressure we put on our society to teach it how to behave correctly where and when, the greater the social implosion will impact us all. Throughout the history of mankind one race has repeatedly caused tremendous and irrevocable damage to other races. Now it's only logical that the victims start fighting back - thank God mostly verbally which is still better than psychically. Anyways, in return, the perpetrators now complain about their reactions and gear up for pay back. A vicious circle indeed! We've got to stop right here! It does not work the way we think it should by forbidding each other (all races) to use certain derogatory terms and expressions! We are all stuck in the karmic grinds of what comes around goes around. We shan't condemn one individual trying to set a hypocritical example as this will never lead to a mutually satisfying outcome ever! Unfortunately, in this country as high as someone may ascend through public fame and fortune, - by the way, much higher than anywhere else, it seems - as deep and hard they are bound to fall if anything they say or do violates the codex of high morals. This truly concerns me as the folks here are certainly not any different, better or any less faulty than those living in other parts of the world.
They say, it takes one to know one. Well, I've got to admit that I have put my foot in my mouth countless times with quite different and partly severe and permanent consequences. However, I'm still of the opinion that one should be forgiven if they muster all their courage to say "I'm sorry!". Someone who falls and gets up again or rather slips and regrets to me is more honest and more of a good person than anyone hiding behind others ready to grab the first stone to cast.

Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...

The Evolution Of The Soul

The Evolution Of The Soul   - Welcome back to my blog! - Today I'd like to focus on the various levels of souls and their different interim steps, respectively. Altogether there are reportedly 35 different steps, 7 per level of which there are 5. Each single step requires at least one whole lifetime to complete, but since several incarnations end prematurely, are terminated too early or are spent in non- physical states, it does in fact take much longer than that to run through all those steps. Running through, I guess, is a poor choice of words in this context as the entire process definitely resembles more of a gradual growth rather than a speedy race, and so it takes well over a hundred lifetimes and spans over thousands of years at best. Just for the (spiritual) records, the soul's existence between lifetimes - periods that usually also take up some time typically used for the soul to return home, its latest life review, being healed and taught, choosing a new life, prepari...

Knock It Off!

Knock It Off!  - Round One. Bam! One punch, and down goes the man or woman. If the setting was a boxing ring, one could cheer about a clean one- strike knock- out and celebrate the victor. Unfortunately, the circumstances could not be any more different. There's no pairing up against each other, and there's certainly no referee to be found either. In fact, reality is quite the opposite with a bunch of teens randomly picking someone, -lately even women- ambushing their latest victims and aiming at knocking them out with a single blow to the head or face. With every new day more incidents are surfacing, well documented thanks to the quickly increasing amount of surveillance and closed- circuit cameras in public places. Those squads of thugs are believed to be primarily teenagers and young folks who are used to roaming the streets and who out of boredom came up with the idea of playing a new sinister and heinous game called "The Knock- Out Game". So, basically anyone wa...
